Growing Gender Diversity in Door Supervisor Roles: 100,000 Women Now Hold SIA Licences in 2024

London, UK - The security industry is undergoing a notable transformation, with more women stepping into roles traditionally dominated by men. One area seeing this shift is door supervision, where gender diversity is steadily increasing. According to the latest figures from August 2024, 100,000 women now hold SIA licences-an increase of 5,000 compared to the previous year. This brings female representation in door supervision to 20%, with 50,000 women currently working as licensed door supervisors.

Despite this progress, men still account for the majority of licence holders in the industry. Of the 500,000 total SIA licence holders, 400,000 are men. In Door Supervision specifically, men hold 250,000 licences, while women hold 50,000. While the gap remains significant, the steady rise in female licence holders reflects a gradual move towards greater gender diversity in the security sector.

This growth in female participation is more than just a numbers game. Women in security roles bring valuable skills such as communication and conflict resolution, both of which are critical for effective door supervision. A diverse security team isn't just a fairer one-it also creates a more balanced and efficient working environment, with a broader range of strengths and approaches contributing to overall safety and security.

From 2023 to 2024, the security industry as a whole saw an increase in both male and female licence holders. The number of male licence holders grew by 10,000, while female licence holders increased by 5,000. Door supervision continues to dominate the sector, accounting for 74% of all SIA licences issued.

However, women still represent just 10.89% of the total SIA licence holders, highlighting the need for further initiatives to attract more women into the industry. Programmes aimed at raising awareness, providing targeted training, and offering greater support are essential to continuing this positive trend.

As gender diversity in the security industry continues to grow, now is an ideal time for women to consider a career in this field. Get Licensed offers SIA-approved door supervisor training courses designed to help individuals quickly and easily become qualified.
